每个企业都视团队协作精神为最重要的方面。团队协作的概念似乎被很多人和企业所误解。

Teamwork is acknowledged as the most important aspect of any enterprise. The concept of teamwork seems to be misunderstood by many people and businesses. Teamwork is built around a leader as he or she is there to organize the team and guide it in the most productive manner. The importance of this leadership skill is shown in the education devoted to teaching it. Good leadership depends on being able to use the personality of the team in an efficient way. A leader is able to use each member of the team as they contribute to the project. This entails listening to their suggestions and applying them if they prove useful. This cooperation between team-members and leaders has proved successful in ventures where they are applied. Germany is excellent in how teamwork in companies can be used to further the success of business. The German economy was destroyed at the end of World War II. They overcame this, quickly rebuilding and becoming economically successful by using teamwork and focusing on the quality of the product. German engineering in such fields as automobiles is famous around the world for these qualities. The importance of team-members is also a basic part of any team. Team-members have the responsibility to fully dedicate themselves to the team and participate in the project. Once the leader makes the decision to do something, the team-members should fully back up this decision by devoting themselves to fulfilling the task assigned. Success is not guaranteed, but a team that is not in cooperation is guaranteed to fail.

每个企业都视团队协作精神为最重要的方面。团队协作的概念似乎被很多人和企业所误解。团队协作围绕一个领导而建立，他用最有效方式来组织和指导团队。这种领导技能的重要性体现在致力于传授此项技能的教育中。好的领导能力取决于能够有效地利用团队的特征。领导者可以调动团队的每一位成员，使之为完成项目共同努力。这就需要听取他们的建议并在建议被证明有用的情况下应用建议。事实证明，这种领导和成员之间的合作在运用团队协作的事业中是成功的。德国人很擅长将公司内部的团队协作用于促进公司成功。德国经济在二战末期崩溃。他们克服困难，迅速重新崛起，通过团队协作以及关注产品质量而在经济发展上得以成功。在汽车等领域，德国工程设计因其质量世界闻名。团队成员的重要性也是任何团队的基础。团队成员有责任献身于团队，参与项目工作。一旦领导决定做某事，团队成员就应该全力支持这一决定，投身于指派的工作之中。尽管不能保证成功，但不进行协作的团队注定会失败。

lerk: Good evening. May I help you?

May: Good evening. I’m looking for a pair of contact lenses.

Clerk: All right. Do you know your eyesight?

May: 300. I just had my eyes tested last week, so it should be precise.

Clerk: Did you wear contact lenses before?

May: No. But I’d like to try. Will it be troublesome to wear contact lenses?

Clerk: No. They are more convenient than ordinary glasses. But contact lenses are not suitable for everyone. Individuals with dry or sensitive eyes lost their ability to wear contact lenses.

May: Luckily, I don’t have those problems. My eyes may be a bit weak, but they are healthy.

Clerk: Good for you. Here’s a selection of lenses. Please take your time to have a look and pick out some you like. They all have descriptions on their packing boxes.

May: I see. Oh, I like this blue pair. May I try them on?

Clerk: Sure. Let me bring you a new pair. Please wait for a while.

(The clerk brings a pair of blue contact lenses.)

Clerk: Here they are. Sit in front of the mirror please and try them.

May: Very comfortable! It was a piece of cake! By the way, is there anything that I should pay extra attention to?

Clerk: Yeah. Always wash your hands before handing contact lenses. You should always keep them clean since they go on your eyes.

May: May I clean them with tap water?

Clerk: No. Here are some multi-purpose solutions for you to use. Carefully and regularly clean your contact lenses after each use. Here are the recommendations for Contact Lens Wearers. Make sure you read every item and follow them.

May: I will. Thank you very much.

阿美: 晚上好。我想配一副隐形眼镜。

店员: 好的。您知道自己的视力吗？

阿美: 300度（近视）。我上周刚刚做了视力检查，所以这应该是准确的度数。

店员: 您以前戴过隐形眼镜吗？

阿美: 没有。但是我想试试。戴隐形眼镜会很麻烦吗？

店员: 不是。它们比普通眼镜戴起来会舒服很多。但并不合适每个人。眼睛很干或者眼睛过敏的人是不适合戴隐形眼镜的。

阿美: 真幸运，我没有那些问题。我的视力有点差，但是眼睛还是健康的。

店员: 很为你高兴哦。这儿有很多的镜片。您慢慢看，挑一副自己喜欢的吧。包装盒上都有它们相应的介绍。

阿美: 知道了。哦，我喜欢这副蓝色的。我可以试戴吗？

店员: 行啊。我去给您拿一副新的。请稍等。

阿美: 挺舒服的。小菜一碟啊。顺便问一下，我有什么需要额外注意的吗？

店员: 是的。当您拿隐形眼镜前都要洗手。它们是要被放到眼睛里的，所以一定要保持清洁。

阿美: 我可以用自来水清洗它们吗？

店员: 不行。这里有一些多功能的护理液可以用。每次用完之后，都要小心及时清洗您的隐形眼镜。这是给戴隐形眼镜的使用者的建议。一定要好好读完每一条然后照做哦。

阿美: 我会的。非常感谢。

商业和娱乐的发展给我们的眼睛带来越来越多的问题。过度地看电视、电脑显示器、书和其他设备引起的眼睛疲劳已经成为严峻的问题。

The development of business and entertainment has led to increasing numbers of problems for our eyes. Eye strain caused by the excessive watching of TV, computer monitors, books, and other devices has become a severe problem. This is a concern among children who are becoming more and more addicted to video and computer games. They spend long hours staring at the screen with few breaks. Other things can also cause poor eyesight. Pollution can damage the eyes, as well as a poor diet. This is especially true for the poor in society as they may not be able to afford the food necessary to provide everything that their bodies need. There is also an increase of people born with bad eyesight others develop poor vision at an early age. This can be caused by the misuse of a person’s eyesight. This misuse can come in the form of being consumed with schoolwork and study until their vision begins to blur. They may not take care of their eyes with such things as eye drops. Many may not even get glasses. It is natural that a person with poor eyesight should wear glasses or contact lens. However, many people decline to use these since they feel that it may take away their good looks. This is really surprising as a person’s eyes are very precious. If they are lost, it could seriously damage the livelihood or standard of living of that person.

商业和娱乐的发展给我们的眼睛带来越来越多的问题。过度地看电视、电脑显示器、书和其他设备引起的眼睛疲劳已经成为严峻的问题。这关乎那些越来越痴迷于录影带和电脑游戏的孩子。他们长时间地注视屏幕，几乎不休息。其他因素也会导致视力下降。污染会伤害眼睛，糟糕的饮食也是原因之一。由于买不起可以提供身体所需的所有营养的食物，这个问题对于社会中的贫困阶层来说更为突出。天生视力较弱或幼年视力发育不佳的人不断增多。这可能是由用眼不当所引起的。这种用眼不当可能以应对过多作业和学习的形式出现，直至视力开始变得模糊不清。他们可能不会用眼药水之类的东西来照顾自己的眼睛。许多人甚至不戴眼镜。近视的人配戴眼镜或是隐形眼镜是很自然的事情。但是很多人拒绝佩戴，因为他们觉得戴眼镜会影响外表的美观。这确实让人惊讶，因为人的眼睛是那么宝贵。如果失去视力，这将会严重影响人们的生计或生活水平。

Clerk: Good afternoon, Ma’am. What can I do for you?

Shirley: Good afternoon. My son’s sight seems to have deteriorated these days. What should I do?

Clerk: Do you know the cause? Is it because of eyestrain? You know kids have a lot of stuff to study these days. Some teachers even ask little children to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Shirley: I don’t think it’s studying. My son is constantly playing video and computer games. He is a bit rebellious.

Clerk: It’s just the little boy’s nature. Don’t worry about it. Let’s have his eyes tested first.

Shirley: Where can I get that done?

Clerk: Go to the second floor and it’s the third room on the left. Go there and you can get everything done.

Shirley: Got it. Thank you. See you later.

(Shirley walks downstairs after the eye examination.)

Clerk: How is it going? What did the report say?

Shirley: It says that it’s just pseudomyopia, so my son’s sight can be corrected.

Clerk: Good for him. But still, don’t forget to take some preventive measures.

Shirley: Thanks. I will. I shouldn’t just leave him to himself. And I should limit his hours for video and computer games.

Clerk: Yeah. Studying for a long time can also cause eyestrain. Make him do some eye exercises after studying, which would be really good for his sight.

Shirley: Good idea. Do you have any other suggestions?

Clerk: We have a variety of eye drops for tired eyes. Would you like one?

Shirley: Sure, I’d like one for children. Is this one OK?

Clerk: Yeah, you just picked up the one I was going to recommend. Good choice! Here is a free eye chart for you, so you can have regular eye examinations at home.
